The filmed-in-North Carolina series “Homeland” racked up more Emmy nominations for its second season Thursday morning.

The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences announced the 2013 crop of nominees, which included 11 nominations for the Charlotte-based show.

Larry Long, of Wilmington, earned his second nomination for “Homeland” as part of the show's sound mixing team in the Outstanding Sound Mixing For A Comedy Or Drama Series (One Hour) category.

“It's awesome (to be nominated again),” Long said. “You know, the first time, you think it's just kind of a fluke. But the second time, it's like we deserve it, it's like a badge of admiration.”

And local casting agents Craig and Lisa Mae Fincannon repeated their nomination (along with Judy Henderson) in the Outstanding Casting category for their work on “Homeland.” They won the award in that category last year. Both Fincannons also earned an Emmy in 1998 as part of the casting team for “From the Earth to the Moon.”

NBC's “Revolution,” which filmed most of its first season in Wilmington, was nominated for stunt coordination for the episode “Nobody's Fault But Mine.” Stunt coordinator Jeff Wolfe battles stunt coordinators from “Blue Bloods,” “NCIS” and “Southland.” The pilot episode of “Revolution,” which filmed in Georgia, earned a visual effects nomination, competing against the pilot episode of Cinemax's “Banshee,” which filmed in western North Carolina. Other nominees in that category are HBO's “Boardwalk Empire,” Showtime's “The Borgias,” Starz's “Da Vinci's Demons” and History's “Vikings.”

The Emmy Awards ceremony hosted by Neil Patrick Harris will air Sept. 22 on CBS. The Fincannons and Long will know their fate a week earlier when awards in most technical categories are handed out at the Creative Arts Emmy ceremony.
